Hi all,

I'm having a problem with Access 2000. Every database I open has this
problem, so it isn't database specific.

If I try to open a table or view in design mode, I get the following
messages:

"An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly.
Would you like to repair this feature now?"

if I say "yes" it goes through some install stuff and then back to the
same message.

If I say "no", I get: "Reserved Error (-1104). There is no message for
this error".

Google searching has yielded no fruit. Other people have reported the
same error but nobody has solutions.

I am running Access 200 on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server install. I
have uninstalled, reinstalled, repaired, applyed the updates on
officeupdate, nothing is helping. Like I said, it happens with any db i
try to open. I can open a blank db and create tables and all that junk,
but when I close it and open it again, I start getting the messages
again. It also happens with dbs created on known good installations.
It does not seem to matter what version of access created a db either.

Please help!! I have a project I need to get done and I need Access to
be working.
 
Hmmmm ... sounds like the database is corrupted.

You can try the Compact/Repair Utility in Access or download th
JetComp4 utility form Microsoft in an attempt to repair the databas
...

Hopefully you have a recent backup the you can revert to if no
successful.

"Good Luck" ...

There is one posting at groups.google.com indicating that running as
administrator fixed this problem. Why I have no idea. This is a
fairly obscure problem.
